I love what Apple introduced at WWDC this year. The new iPad Pro is definitely the best iPad so far. It’s more elegant, powerful and all the new features on iOS 11 are totally awesome. My favorite are the one called ‘Dock’ and also Augmented Reality. These 2 are really innovative and something new on the market.
